The algebra, parameter values, and results of a reference model for the dust environment of Comet P/Halley are presented. The model employs simplified treatments of the icy conglomerate nucleus and of the hydrodynamic outflow of gas and dust. The model includes a gas production rate derived from observations of Halley's visual magnitude in 1910, gas and dust flux nonuniformly distributed over the nuclear surface, a dust distribution function consistent with large particle inferences from comet antitails, dust density variable with mass, and an approximation to the distribution of particles near the dust envelope. Many parameter values are derived by analogy with the results for other comets. The features are incorporated in a computer program which calculates the concentration, flux, and fluence of dust particles as functions of time, position and particle mass.
